THE PRESS? FRIDAY MORNING, I>EC- 8,18.1^ George in Washing ton for the purpose of taking the lead m a movement against the renomination of Gen. Grant. He is said to be sanguine as to the result—but so is George Francis Train. Metropolitan Journals have at least one advantage over country newspapers— they are modest. The New York Herald, for instance, says with an ingenuous air: “The Herald of yesterday was a marvel of a news paper!” Mr. Lynch, as we are informed by a Washington dispatch to the New York Times, will take no steps toward reviving his special committee on navigation interests, but will bring before the Commerce Committee of which he is a member the measures on which he wishes to secure the action of Congress. The Republicans in the Senate do not ap pear to be very much disorganized. Only Tipton of Nebraska voted with the Demo crats to take up Gen. Blair’s resolution in quiring by what authority Gen. Grant has proceeded in executing the laws in North and South Carolina. The fearful intelligence that the Hemen way wharf matter is coming before the Legis lature again this winter is confirmed by the Machias papers. Will the porgie alias men haden also rear his venerable head? Will the narrow rimmed wheels jolt and jumble over the streets of Clierryfield? Will the trout in Shedequlldicamug Lake disturb the puonc peace. The prospect for the passage of a hill em bodying the views of the message on the am nesty question is said to be encouraging. It was laid over until next Monday under the rules. Mr. Hale of this State is the author of the bill, which, as drawn by him, granted un conditional amnesty. It has been amended so as to except members of Congress, milita ry and naval school graduates and members of the secession ordinance conventions. It will be further amended before passage. Richard C. Shannon of Biddeford, who has been nominated for the position of Secre tary of Legation at Brazil, is a young man of ability and culture. He was a student at Colby University at the breaking out of the war. He gave up his college course, enlisted in the 5th Maine Regiment, doing good ser vice in that and other organizations until the close of the war. He was very properly al lowed to take his degree with his college class in 1862. Since the war he has resided several years in Brazil, whence he wrote interesting letters to the New York Tribune. The special committee on that part of the President’s message relating to the civil ser vice, is said to be very generally in favor of radical changes. Mr. Kelley, the chairman, accepted his nomination—the last time—with the understanding that he was not to be con sidered as an “office broker” but a represen tative of a district. Mr. Lynch, another member, is heartily in favor of radical reform, and the same is true of other members of the committee, all of whom are gentlemen of more than ordinary legislative capacity and experience. Senator Morrill of this State is enti tled to great credit for the deep interest he has shown in the quieting of the Indians. He has at this early day introduced a resolu tion inquiring whether some further legisla tion is not necessary to carry into effect the treaties made with the Indians by the Peace Commissioners. These treaties contemplated the setting aside of reservations on which the Indians were to be collected and kept perma nently. The Commissioners accordingly se lected two reservations—one in Indian Terri tory and the other on the Upper Platte in Dakotah Territory—which are supposed to be large enough to contain all the Indians east of the Rocky Mountains. Their action was duly reported to Congress several years ago, and large numbers of Indians from time to time have been placed upon these reserva tions. But up to the present date Congress has never ratified and confirmed the reserva tions to the Indians, and there is consequent ly no assurance that they will not be despoiled of the lands and driven from their new homes by the encroachments of unprincipled whites —a danger now considered imminent, not withstanding the faith of the government has uccii pieugeu uiiu uiey suoum never again De disturbed so long as they remain peaceable. The resolution now lies upon the table of the Senate, pending the formation of the com mittee. Senator Tru mbull not :i Candidate against Grant. Senator Trumbull is the most able and dis tinguished of the persons whose names have been mentioned in connection with an inde pendent Republican nomination for the Pres idency. His opposition to the policy of the President and a majority of his Congressional associates on grave questions has caused the pack of hungry politicians who are now in search of a Moses to lead them out of the wil derness, to catch eagerly at the chance sup posed to be offered by his disaffection. But the following report of a conversation of the Senator with an informant of the correspond ent of the Louisville Journal shows how mis taken these misguided souls are. The letter is dated Washington, Dec. 3d: I have just had detailed to me by a promi nent Southern politician the particulars of a conversation, had within the last day or two with Senator Trumbull, of Illinois. My in formant, who is himself an Ex-United States Senator, states that he met Judge Trumbull m the library of Congress, and that, after ex changing liiendly salutations, he asked the Senator whether he would consent to the use of his name as a conservative candidate for the Presidency against Gen. Grant. The Il linois statesman replied with more than usual emphasis: ‘No, Sir, I would not.’ ‘And why not?’ ‘For many reasons.’ Judge Trumbull said in substance: “In the first place I am sat isfied where I am. I consider a seat in the Senate ot the United States a position in Which I can be more useful than any other and I believe it to be as honorable as any un der the Government if its duties be efficiently and properly discharged. In the next place, I do not agree with the programme which has been marked out by those who refuse to sup port the candidacy of the President for re election. I am conscious of the need of many reforms, and I am daily striving to accom plish them. But I do not believe that a revo lution of parties would be salutary. I do not believe either the people of the North or South are ready to profit by such a change “And why not?” “Because the people of the South have really accepted nothing, and are.u°twillln2 to c°-°perate with the liberals ot the North in settling the practical relations ofsocietyona sure and generous basis. I know that the South has much to complain Sf®"41 80 ^ye the liberai Republicans. It ts not the rebel element, perhaps, but the na thlng?’ that the South should not real lze the complete overthrow of the old order and the necessity for a complete change of the domestic policy. I believe that the defeat of Gen, Grant would involve a reaction at the oouth whose consequences would be even worse than the present state of affairs.” “'Don’t you think Gen.

The party is not really divided. Its internal discussions merely exhibit the exercise of in dividual free-will, and do it good and not harm. It will act as a body, and I think will poll a larger vote than it did in 1868, no matter what framework or what candidates are opposed to it. The people believe in the Republican party on account of its liberal discussions.” I am assured in saying that the opinions of Senator Trumbull are also the opihions of Senator Sumner. Services of the Falmouth (Portland) Troops iu the Campaign agaiuHt Cana* tin iu 1138. EXTRACTS FROM THE JOURNAL OF A PROVINCIAL OFFICER.—NO. I. I have recently, through the kindness of Rev. E. IV, Jackson, of Gorham, had the pleasure of examining the manuscript Field Book and Journal of an officer of the Provincial army throughout the campaign against Canada in 1753, and believing that it throws much light upon matters of local history that interests oth ers as well as myself, I beg to present to the public, through your columns, some of its lead ing points. It is well kuown that for the invasion of Can ada, during the French and Indian war, Massa chusetts raised in 1758 a force of 6800 men.— Maine at that time formed a part of the Prov ince of Massachusetts Bay; and the quota of Falmouth, or Portland, was three hundred men. On the 13th of March of that year, Gov. Pow nal issued to Jedediah Preble a commission as Colonel of a regiment of foot raised by him at Falmouth. It is also known that of these pro vincial troons twen tv-five hundred served in till. garrison at Louisburg, several hundred in the navy, and three hundred joined Gen. Wolfe be fore Quebec. The remainder served under Gen. Amherst, who entered Canada by Lakes George and Champlain. I do not know that the des tination of these three hundred Falmouth men has been definitely ascertained. It has been conjectured—see Genealogy of Preble Family by Capt. George Henry Preble,—that they were un der Wolfe at Quebec, and that Col. Preble was Brigadier in command at that place; perhaps, because the number of men detached for that service corresponds with the number raised at Falmouth. This question is definitely settled if we admit the authenticity of the Journal, from which I quote below: Falmouth, May 21, 1758. Sailed with three transports and three hundred soldiers, includ ing officers, for the intended expedition against Canada, and got into Winter Harbour about 5 o’clock in the afternoon. By a hasty calculation I find that the above date falls on Sunday. If mistaken, will the reader be so kind as to correct my error? Win ter Harbor is near the mouth of the Saco. May 22, 1708. Sailed from the above harbor four o’clock in the morning, being foggy weath er and small breeze. Lay becalmed between the Shoals and Piscattaque the same night. May 23, 1753. Arrived to Kittery at U o’clock and went ashore, and waited on Sr. Win. Pep Serill, and at the Point meeting house the Rev. Ir. Rogers preached a sermon to officers and soldiers, from the first book of Samuel, 17 c.,45, 48, 47 verses, and after sermon we received our commissions, and was sworn by Sr. Wrn. Pep perill and Col. Wendal. From the above we must infer that the writer was a commissioned officer, and the same is ev ident in many subsequent parts of the Journal. What was his rank nowhere appears: but it 8reins most likely that he was Captain. May 24, 1758. Col. Preble settled Capt. Good ing’s and Capt. Goipg’s (Gowen’s) companies and billeting for the companies. The two following days appear to have been spent at Kittery in ordering their affairs. May 27, 1758. I paid my company off their billeting money and prepared for sailing, and sailed 11 o’clock at night in company with sev en transports, and received order from our commanding officer, Col. Jedediah Preble, if parted by hard weather to rendezvous at Al bany. The transports which joined the three from Falmouth probably contained New Hampshire’s quota of men. Col. Preble it seems assumed command of the entire force. May 28, 1758. Sailed off Chatham from Kit tery. May 21), 1758. Proceeded on our journey with the wind at north, and sailed to Gay Head, where we came up with a snow, Capt. Rods, commander from London to New York, who informed us he had 159 days passage. He took out of a ship’s main-top fourteen men in lat. 39, and being put to great extremeties, he came on board us and we delivered him some relief. Snow, in naval affairs, is generally the larg v uiuovvu uoin.10 cinjiiuj cu uj ikuiy peans, and the most convenient for navigation. *—Enc. Brit. May 30th, 1758. Calm weather. Exercised the soldiers on deck, and, in the afternoon, made the best of our way up the sound. May 31st, 1758. Fair and pleasant weather with a favorable wind till night, and anchored under Long Island. June 1st, 1758. We sailed through Hell Gate, so called, safe, and came to anchor at New York about nine o’clock in the afternoon, and I lodg ed ashore. June 2d, 1758. Sailed from New York 3 o’clock, and anchored 7 o’clock. I took a view of the Fort and took the number of the guns, and found there are 72 which are chiefly 32 pounders. It would appear that the fort which is refer red to above was built at the upper end of the island, where at a later day was built Fort Washington, to command the entrance to Hud son River. June 3d, 1758. We came to sail between two and three o’clock, and proceeded up Albany River called Hutson’s River, and anchored at 7 o’clock. June 4th, 1758. Proceeded up the river till dark and then came to anchor. June 5th, 1758. Came to sail at 5 o’clock in the looming, and proceeded up the river with the wind at S. W. Thundered in the p. m. June 8th, 1758. Came to sail 7 o’clock in the morning with the wind at west and in the af ternoon at N. W. Proceeded up the river to wards Albany. June 7th, 1758. Calm in the morning. Set sail 11 o’clock, the wind S. W. Sailed from Col. Hoffman’s which is 54 miles from Albany, and arrived at Albany 6 o’clock. June 8th, 1758. Major-General James Aber crombie left orders that 300 of the Bay forces go to Schonectady, in compliance whereof Col. Preble drafted Capt. Libby, Capt. Cobb, Capt. Bowen with their Companies to march to the sa*d Schonectady, and gave us order to furnish our Companies with arms as soon as possibie, which arms we received the date above. From the language of the above, we should naturally infer that the writer of the journal was himself one of three captains detached for service at Schenectady. This is the only clue I find to its authorship. I have now followed the expedition from Falmouth to Albany; far enough to determine its destination. With regard to the rank of Col. Preble, I will ciuote from the officer’s field-book one day’s en try: Lake Georye, Sunday, July 2d, 1758. General for the day to-morrow, Brig. Gen. Gage. Col. for the day to-morrow, Haldiman; for the Pro vincials, Col. Lyman. Field officers for the night, Maj. Browning. For the Proviucials, Lieut. Col. Hoar, Brigade Maj. Spittle.

Ith Wooster. 14th Wolaey. The above entry shows the honorable rank leld by the Colonel commanding the Falmouth iroops in this expedition; and subsequent por tions of the journal show that the conduct of 'he men was no less creditable to them than vas his rank to their commander. I. B. Choate. Windham, Nov. 28th, 1871. Oxford C'ouuty Correspondence. Temperance in Oxford County—The Court Meeting—Various Opinions. It has been the custom the past two years, to lave a temperance meeting on the first Wed esday evening of the term of the Supreme Ju icial Court in Oxford county, at the Court louse. This course was inaugurated by some f the zealous temperance men in Paris, and by ntain members of the Bar in all parts of the runty. Such meetings have usually been well ttended, and the speakers—chiefly sprinkled jurymen, lawyers and others—have freely entilated all the doctrines, sentiments, institu lons and laws of temperance. Last evening was the appointed time for this leeting at the present Court. Dr. Colby was rpected to be present and address the meeting igether, with numerous attorneys. Only two three attorneys put in appearance. The citi ins—the ladies especially—composed a good idience. The meeting was organized by the toice of Sheriff Stacy, President, and right, Esq., Secretary. The President an unced that this was to be a kind of class leting where all could “draw nigh and be ard.” Dr. Colby led with some very sensible argu- 1 nits, forcible and clear, prudent and logical, 1 favor of total abstinence. After this the cting assumed the character of a Committee I Ways and Means; and each one attempted to ermine the best method of “belling” the 4 1 cat—Intemperance. Mr. Colby thought we c d law enough, and only needed a little back m Laving the courage of the 1 .nseller wber^T'11 “mean” 1 9 er Le could be found. Mr. v No. 2, besought and implored a “revival/’ s and warming as he entered deeper, declared that he would “bell” the old cat and catch her too, if he could only revolutionize the hearts of men and call them all into that noble institu tion—the Order of Templars. Mr. S. thought it would not do to seize men and punish them and carry them to jail with out due process of law. Mr. F. was not satisfied with the present amount of law, but wanted a sheep stealer to be called a driminal—a rumsell er ditto—and have each treated with the same respect and consideration. The law of diversity was well exemplified at this meeting. In one thing, however, there was agreement. The speakers all confessed and believed that intemperance was on the in crease among young and old, great and small, as compared with ten years ago. This, if true is a most lamentable fact; and it becomes a se rious question what ought to be done. May it not be that the philosophy, the methods, and the motives need revision? Paris, Dec. 8,1871. Cosmos. Letter from Mebivgo. Paying off the Workmen—The Music of Money and Music in the Public Schools. Lake Sebago Dec. 7th, 1871. Mr. Editor.—Did yon ever see a gang of hands paid off? If you have, you have seen many smiling faces and joyous hearts. It is al ways a gratifying sight to witness capital pay ing labor. We have many times and often heard it said that the laborer is worthy of his hire, and it is as true now as it was centuries agcr, when Solomon was building the Temple. Yesterday was a happy day for the men who have been at work on the P. O. Railroad. And if any laborers are worthy of their wages, those who dig, shovel and make our railroads must be reckoned among them. The hands who are working on the Ogdensburg road were paid off yesterday, and happier fellows are sel dom seen on any occasion. They were stand ing about the depot here and saw an extra train not far behind the regular morning train. “See that,” said one young stalwart son of the Emerald Isle, pointing to the train and jump mg almost out of his brogans, "now for the greenbacks!” And sure enough he and many others thrust the little packages into their pockets. It was a pleasant sight to see so many made happy. It reminds me of a scene I witnessed some twenty years ago on the American shore of Lake Sujierior among the miners in that region of copper ore. The celebrated Pittsburg mine had just got under good headway, and the Ger mans and Welchmen who were working it had not received any pay for a period of nine months because they would not take paper money. They were not used to that kind of circulating medium and demanded the specie which was carried up on the schooner, “Napo leon” in bags and boxes. There was a good pile of it. I took passage on the same vessel. The vessel sailed into “Copper Harbor” which is not much of a harbor. There it was landed and carted some three miles to the mine where the silver and gold were handed over to “itch ing palms. At midnight a large company of miners came down to the harbor, and the first thing we heard in that forest was the music of many voices. 1 was encamped with a gentle man from New York, and we were awakened at midnight by most excellent singing. They could all smg and sing well too; for they had practiced the art from their boy hood. I have heard some good music in my day, but I thought then I never heard voices harmonize so well as theirs did on that occasion. It was a mild evening in June, and I remember that I then thought Yankees could not make such mnsic as echoed over the sparkling waters of the Lake at that midnight hour. And why? Because music is not taught in our common schools. These miners had learned music from their infancy, and expressed their joy in the art that has but one language and that univer sal. Surely they were happier for thus being taught. Then why not introduce music into our common schools and make the next gener ation more happy than we are? We have mu sical talent enough, it only needs cultivation. If these Irish laborers had been musically edu cated in early life as the-Germans and Italians are, they could have expressed their joy as the miners did on the shore of Lake Superior, and sweet music would have floated over the crystal waters of this Lake. Protection for the Fisheries.—A meet ing of the citizens of Cape Cod interested in fisheries was held Wednesday in Barnstable to consider their interests as affected by ths treaty of Washington. Major Phinney of the Barn stable Patriot offered the following resolution which was adopted: Resolved, that in view of the inevitable effects of the Treaty of Washington upon the fishery interests of Cape Cod we would urge upon Con gress a liberal protection for that branch of in dustry, confident that unless some such course is adopted the competition of foreign fisheries under the provisions of said treaty between England and the United States will ultimately destroy an occupation which has long been of great value to the commerce and marine of the country. A committee wTas chosen to act in conjunction with similar committees from Plymouth and Gloucester for the purpose of memorializing Congress upon the condition of the fisheries and to employ suitable persons to represent their in terest before Congress. Mr. P. S. Gilmore, whose return from Eu rope, where he has beeu for some months pre paring for the great musical festival in Boston next summer, is elsewhere noticed, reports that he has had the greatest success is his negotia tions with governments and with musical celeb rities, and that England, France, Belgium, Austria, Prussia and Russia will be represent ed, in all their musical characteristics, at the projected World 8 Peace Jubilee, the idea of which has been favorably received in all quar ters abroad. The Massachusetts Temperance Alliance have nine agents—eight clergyman and one layman—employed in addressing schools on temperance. Believing that an address to the pupils alone is of comparatively little value, each address is followed by the introduction of the pledge. It is encouraging to learn the in terest the scholars manifest in adopting the pledge. In some schools all the pupils adopt it. School committees and teachers second the work cheerfully. The Alliance has carried the pledge into about 200 schools since the first of October. The sacrifices which have been made to roy alty, as all history proves, have been most libe ral, and, in many instances, wonderful, but one of the most remarkable is that of an old lady in Connecticut, who has patiently constructed a picture frame out of toe nails (whether they are human, or where, if so, she procured them, she does not say,) which she desires to present to Prince Alexis—in toto. He ought to be delight ed with this gift. TnE Grand Central Hotel.—This superb, colossal structure, on Broadway, New York, is still attracting the attention of the press of the country. It seems to be an acknowledged ren dezvous for travelers from every clime. A vis itor’s glance at the multitudes that daily and nightly throng its spacious halls and ample ex changes, will confirm the fact that it really finds accommodation for nearly two thousand guests. In keeping with its size and splendor, H. Ly man Powers, its proprietor, has conducted it with untiring energy, upon a scale of hospita ble liberality hitherto unknown in the history of hotel management. Its sudden innovation upon the exorbitant rates charged by other first-class hotels—adopt ing prices from one to two dollars less per day —has been the subj'ect of various editorial no tices throughout the country, and we heartily add our concurrence in this mneh-needed re form. The Grand Central is generally found to be the new York residence of our leading public men, and a maj’ority of visiting foreign ers. Indeed, the fame of the “Grand Central” at home has “gone abroad.” It is what Victor Hugo, in Paris, would call “Une Grande Palais Royale," and visitors will find what has been said of it is true. Items. Low tolls on the New York canals in the past year, has given a great stimulus to the business during that period: In 1370 the receipts at Buffalo of grain, and flour reduced to bushels, reached the aggregate of 59,761,580 bushels. Ill 1871, the amount was 89,610,385, ail excess of about 30,000,000 of bushels. ‘,We have no room for all this,” said our night-editor, glancing desparingly at a two- column obituary, “it must be cut down to. a proper dic-mention.” The Fish-Catacazy correspondence was seized upon by a dozen eager reporters in the office of the Secretary of the Senate and its contents se cured before Mr. Cameron became aware of the fact, when there was a scattering. The new delegate from the District of Colum- bia begins in the House by modestly asking for 3,500,000 acres of land for educational purposes. Dr. John Blackmer, the prohibition candi date for Governor in New Hampshire is chair man of the State Committee, and Rev. A.

The associated press agent at Richmond, Va., airmailed the political declamation of Gov. Walker to the papers, but a larger number vould have been pleased to know the number if millions which he and his conservative 81 fiends have increased the State debt. oi “Gilt-edge” butter, which is wliat is called S he very best, sold at St. Albans market on ’uesday for 36 cents per pound.

Although n is salary had only amounted to $350 per an um on an average, his estate was found to be m orth $350,000. His great wealth was never J8 ispected. So STATE NEWS. ANDROSCOGGIN COUNTY. We learn from the Lewiston Journal that the iggregate shipments of shoes from Auburn and Lewiston stations, the past week, have been 437 I ases against 703 cases the week previous. The shipments of leather have been 14,470 pounds to 51,720 pounds the previous week. The Lewiston Journal suggests a work build ing to be connected with the county jail. Not a bad idea. FRANKLIN COUNTY. The Farmington Chronicle is informed in re gard to Ben Butler’s school teachiag in thst town. It was in the winter of 1834, and in the school-house above Walton’s Mills, known as the “Butterfield District” He “boarded round,” and during a portion of the time with Mr. A. T. Tuck, now of this village. His a»e at this time was 17 years; in size rather below the medium stature, and not remarkably pre possessing in appearance. He had average suc cess with his school, and some of the wise heads in the district predicted that he would “make his mark in the world.” KENNEBEC COUNTY. Wm. H. Eigelow, Esq., of Clinton, has re signed the supervisorship of schools for Kenne bec county, which he has so acceptbaly filled the past two yearn. Kev. D. N. Sheldon of Waterville, has been recommended by the State Superintendent, as successor, and will probably receive the appointment from Gov. Perharn and his Council, says the Kennebec Journal Martin Tyler chased his hat through the ice on the Kennebec river Thanksgiving day, and came near drowning and freezing. On Satur day, George Potter was walking across the riv er, and passing over a piece of ice just frozen over he went in. He was rescued by parties on the ice. The city of Gardiner is threatened with the loss or some of her best primary school teachers, the salaries being only $225 per year. KNOX COUNTY.

Four thousand sides of sole leather from the tanneries in the eastern section of the State went west over the Maine Central Railroad on Wednesday. SAGADAHOC COUNTY. The Bath Times says business at Richmond has been quite brisk since the the fire of Sept 2d. A number of new buildings have beeu erected on the burnt district, ana it is proposed to build some six or eight more in the spring. Real estate has advanced at least fifteen to twenty per cent, within a few months, and the prospect is that it will advance more by another spring. SOMERSET COUNTY.

Seven or eight vessels were at the wharves Monday re ceiving and discharging freight. And now the smart old lady lives in Lubec. A correspondent writes the Union that a Mrs. Pendleton lives in North Lubec who is 8!) years old. She does all of her own work, and "from May to October she spun 169 skeins of yarn. In ten days she spun 60 skeins. In the same time she knit six pairs of stockings, three pairs of socks, two pairs of mittens and knit eight pounds of seine or net twine! YORK COUNTY. A discharge of twenty workmen in the depart ment of yards and docks at Kittery Navy Yard took place Tuesday, and the balance of the force of laborers remaining are to be placed on half time.

Whence comes that firm reliance, that absolute, undoubting faith in the efficacy of Hostetter’i Stom ach Bitters as a remedy for indigestion, bilious dis orders, intermittent and remittent fevers which noto riously prevails in all parts of the United States? This confidence has been growing for twenty years, and it is still extending. It is not the result o credulity; it has not been engendered by any human device, but is the spontaneous and natural conse quence of experience. What people see daily going on under their own eyes they cannot question. When families in unhealthy districts, that resort to this wholesome vegetable tonic as a preventive, escape pe riodical fevers, and their immediate neighbors, who neglect that precaution are prostrated by the disease how is it possible that the phenomenon should be without its lesson? In e manner when it is seen that obstinate cases of dj nepsia, of liver complaint, a copstipation, of nervous weakness, and of general r—w uucrauou oi me iaraous remedy, tow can even Incredulity itself withhold its endorse ment? Eye-witnesses of the salutary effects of the bitters, arc to be found in every civilised settlement ■>n this continent. The thousands upon thousands owe their restoration to health and strength, or Iheir preservation from sickness to its extraordinary mediclncal properties, are enthusiastic in its praise, me multitudes who recommend it in a neighborly jvay to their friends and acquaintances, as well as those who make public their estimate of Its virtues, ire always ready to state their reasons for the faith aat ism them. They have all either felt or witness i its beneficent ope rati ons. NOW IS YOUR TIME TO BUY A GUN! n order to close out my remaining stock of CJUIVS, have marked them DOWN BELOW THE COST!

These Extracts are warranted perfectly free from \he poisonous oils and acids which enter into the composition of many of the factitious fruit flavors now in the market.

The population ot the maritime Provinces ia about ONE MILLION, and all the land travel, ireiglit, mails. &c„ betwecu them and the Uni ed States.will pass over this Trunk line,which is WITHOUT CO ?l PETITION. Although not yet completed, the business of the road is already f«r greater than its most sanguine friends predicted, and ia continually increasing.
